Lightning Fast SCADA Development with Open Library for WinCC OA DMC, Inc.
Presenter - Leon Grossman
The Siemens platforms have always encouraged the use of modular, reusable, and object-oriented code. Last year, DMC expanded on those concepts by working with Siemens to release the Open Library. It is a library of many common industrial objects (drives, valves, analog, etc.) that has paired PLC function blocks with HMI faceplates for WinCC Comfort and Advanced.
The Open Library has recently expanded to support WinCC OA and leverage the new object oriented CTRL++ language elements released in WinCC OA v3.15. These new WinCC OA objects directly support the PLC objects in the library and support single tag configuration just like their HMI-centric cousins. We will discuss the role of object-oriented design in, how to obtain the Open Library, and how to use this library in your projects.

of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Medical image analysis has witnessed significant advancements with deep learning techniques. In the domain of brain tumor segmentation, the ability to
precisely delineate tumor boundaries from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scans holds profound implications for diagnosis. This study presents an ensemble convolutional neural network (CNN) with transfer learning, integrating
the state-of-the-art Deeplabv3+ architecture with the ResNet18 backbone. The
model is rigorously trained and evaluated, exhibiting remarkable performance
metrics, including an impressive global accuracy of 99.286%, a high-class accuracy of 82.191%, a mean intersection over union (IoU) of 79.900%, a weighted
IoU of 98.620%, and a Boundary F1 (BF) score of 83.303%. Notably, a detailed comparative analysis with existing methods showcases the superiority of
our proposed model. These findings underscore the model’s competence in precise brain tumor localization, underscoring its potential to revolutionize medical
image analysis and enhance healthcare outcomes. This research paves the way
for future exploration and optimization of advanced CNN models in medical
imaging, emphasizing addressing false positives and resource efficiency.

Optimizing Gradle Builds - Gradle DPE Tour Berlin 2024Sinan KOZAK
Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Copies
• Almost all project items can be
saved
• No dependencies means that
things can break easily
• Should only be used for items
that cannot be types
64. Project:
• Unique to every project
• Holds types and master
copies that are only
viewable in that project
• Every type in your project is
in your project library. The
reverse is not necessarily
true.
• Project items (types) must
be instantiated from here
• Can contain items from
multiple global projects
Project Library vs. Global Libraries
Global:
• Can be opened and
viewed by any project
(only 1 at a time)
• Can be archived to a
.zal13 archive
• Cannot instantiate
types directly
65. • Changes made in
either project or
library can be
quickly sync’d
• Updates to your
project library
automatically
update all links to
blocks in your
project
Updating project/global libraries
66. • You can view what the dependencies are (both
directions)
• View by version number
• View instances in the project
• Clean up library/harmonize project
Library management
67. • Allows you to assign a new version
to a block
• Can’t think of a good use case for
this. High risk for messing up
dependencies
• Things this does:
• Assigns new version number
• Deletes older version in project
• Updates all references in project
to new version
Assign version…
68. • Need to have a instance in your project. It will ask
you which instance to use if you edit from the project
library
• Editing from your PLC block and your project library
are the same
Block editing
71. • This part of the library is for reference only
• Created by auto-upgrading a Simatic Manager
project. Blocks cannot be trusted.
• Try everything else before using anything in here
• Exceptions:
• Global tag table
• Pre-made DBs
DMC Library - Master copies
72. • Most all items and versions are tested
• Still need to be aware that these are new blocks (to
Portal)
• If you find a bug, please report/fix it ASAP
• Version 1.0 = old DMC library version with slight
upgrades
• Version 1.5 – adds HMI “status” INT that allows for
multiple colors on Siemens HMIs
